Comment on Why another kymograph ImageJ plugin? by Johannes Schindelin
How about making this an update site? Otherwise the vast majority of life scientists will be unable to use it.
curiosity vs ignoranceLet's compile like it's 1992
I have been tinkering with the vanilla source code of Wolfenstein 3D from 1992. Even though it is more than 20 years old: It still compile and here is how to do it (with plenty of screenshots).
Fabien SanglardGame Engine Black Books
I am almost done with the first volume of what I hope will become a serie called "Game Engine Black Book". Each book would take further what I tried to do with my articles: Explain simply, yet in great details, a legendary game engine. For the first one I decided to go with Wolfenstein 3D.

Every 6 years or so I'm revamping my website. This is the 3rd incarnation now (yes, I started early) featuring a new wordpress theme, a clean layout, and – most important – serious content improvements.
Dr. Mickey LauerTrespasser: Jurassic Park CG Source Code Review

Git Source Code Review

I wanted to get a better understanding of the "stupid content tracker" and see how it was built so I spent a few weeks in my spare time reading the source code. I found it tiny, tidy, well-documented and overall pleasant to read.

Commonly called "The CG Bible", Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice gathered a huge part of the knowledge of the time. It was commonly referenced by the best programmers of that era in interviews and articles. By 1998, the book popularity had been acknowledged with a Front Line Award.

Algorithms and Data structures books: One size doesn't fit them all
Over the years running this moderately popular website, I have been asked many times what is the best book about Algorithms and Data Structures. The answer is always "It depends" ! It depends on how the programmer's brain works and what kind of notation he is comfortable with. There are many flavors of mindset out there but it usually comes down to Mathematics and Illustrations...
